Parents' finances 2013: survey results infographic

A major new study into the UK's 'financial capability' has been released by the Money Advice Service. It has created this infographic specially for Mumsnet, drawn from its new data, showing UK parents' family finances in today's challenging financial climate.

The top line, as Mumsnet Talk amply backs up, is that almost seven in 10 parents are struggling with bills and credit repayments, although many are doing their best to save despite their squeezed finances.
